Chapter 530 Then you're really stupid In one fell swoop, Leah's hand reaching for the trophy was abruptly cut off.
Leah's smile instantly froze, her hand stopped just a few millimeters away from the second place trophy, and her whole body seemed to stiffen.
The host who was about to present her with the award was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised at Selena and caught her glinting eyes.
The host was startled and immediately took a step back, retracting the trophy that was already halfway out.
Selena spoke into the microphone, and everyone in the audience heard it, causing a huge shockwave.
"What does Selena mean by that?" "She said the second place cannot be given to Leah, why?" "Lady Selena must have her reasons for saying that, let's wait and see!" "Damn, we've reached this point, and we can still have a big scoop. This year's fragrance competition is definitely the most tumultuous one..." Dominic's just-relieved heart was lifted again, he looked at Selena with an unreasonable gaze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtObviously, no one expected Selena to interrupt Leah's award presentation at the last moment.
She was already the champion, why couldn't she let Leah go? Leah was frozen in place like a statue, and after a while, she slowly and stiffly turned her head to look at Selena, her tone of voice eerily gentle, "Selena, what do you mean by that?" Selena lifted her chin, smiled, and said with a righteous tone, "I am questioning you. Can't you understand?" "I am the champion and have the right to question anyone,” Selena admired Leah's almost ferocious expression, and smiled with a teasing tone, "Of course, you can also question me in return. Everyone on this stage should be willing to accept all kinds of questioning!" Leah clenched her fingers and smiled, her smile making people's backs chill, "Oh? Selena, you are questioning me about what? Is it because Mr. Ghost is biased towards you, and you have already won the championship, what else do you want?" "Do you want to say that my perfume is not worthy of this second place? Or is there a problem with my work?" Leah was obviously very angry, and couldn't even hold back her inner thoughts in public.
But her words were not without reason.
Mr. Ghost's favoritism and special treatment towards Selena were too obvious.
Moreover, unexpectedly, a large number of voices suddenly emerged from below, supporting and echoing her.
"That's right, Selena's and Leah's championship rivalry, there may be Mr. Ghost's favoritism towards her..." "Others may not be able to tell that the yellow perfume bottle is Selena's, but someone as powerful as Mr. Ghost must have been able to see it. Perhaps, from the beginning, the championship had already been decided in advance!" "Selena, how can you question Leah when your own championship trophy is obtained through questionable means?" These voices sounded as if they had suddenly appeared, completely disregarding Selena and Ghost's terrifying popularity, shamelessly insinuating an improper relationship between the two.
Many of the viewers were so angry that their faces turned black and they couldn't help but curse back.
"Damn it! Where did these bunch of idiots come from!" "How dare you defame our ‘God’, are you looking for trouble?" "We are just raising legitimate questions. Why is it okay for Selena to question Leah but not us? Who does Selena think she is?" "She is a miss from the Riddle family in the capital and a rising star favored by many respected seniors in the fragrance industry.
Of course, she has guts!" "It's just a pity for this batch of fragrance makers who came to participate in the competition. Without the backing of influential people, they were doomed to be second-rate from the beginning..." If they hadn't smelled Selena's perfume before, these sudden comments would have resonated with the fragrance makers on the stage.
But after smelling Selena's perfume, these words became extremely harsh and offensive in the ears of those truly capable fragrance makers.
It was obvious that someone wanted to use them to discredit Selena.
Alice was the first to stand up and said, "Have you said enough? | personally smelled both perfumes, and I think Lady Selena's perfume is better than Leah's. The championship is well-deserved, and | acknowledge it! It's Leah who..." Alice looked at Leah disdainfully, "Not only Lady Selena questions her, | also want to question her. | believe that not only us, but all the fragrance makers and judges on the scene want to question her!" Upon hearing Alice's words, Leah's heart skipped a beat and a sense of panic arose in her heart.
But no matter what, she couldn't figure out what the problem was.
After Alice, Patrick coldly looked at Leah, "Lady Selena surpasses Leah in both technique and inspiration, and she truly won the championship through her own strength, without any favoritism or insider dealings!" "Leah, you yourself smelled Lady Selena’s perfume. You said Mr. Ghost favored Lady Selena, so he gave her the championship..." Patrick sneered, "Don't tell me you still don't understand why she won over you until now?" The sharpness of this question made Leah flustered and pale, "I... " After thinking for a long time, she couldn't say anything, showing that she really didn't know.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatrick looked at her meaningfully, "You are really stupid!" Then, from sixth to tenth place, all the perfumers who won a ranking stood up, proving that Selena's championship was well- deserved.
Among them, a hot-tempered person directly confronted Leah in public.
"Leah, you are really funny. We all know why you lost to Selena, but you, as the person involved, don't know? What's going on?" The girl looked at Leah with a skeptical look, "Where did you fall behind Selena? Do you really have no idea?" She frowned and looked up and down at Leah, "If you still don't know why at this point, then | have to doubt your so-called runner-up strength. If you do know, where did you get the confidence to say that Mr. Ghost rigged the competition?" This resolute and righteous operation completely shattered the doubts about Selena and Ghost that Leah had sparked with one sentence.
It was not just one or two people praising Selena's excellence.
It was the top perfumers in H Country who were willing to admit that they had lost and expressed their admiration for Selena’s championship.
It even indirectly acknowledged Selena's doubts about Leah.
This unprecedented defense stunned the audience on site.
"What's going on? Did Alice and the others actually go to defend Selena?"
